I'm going to jump in and participate. I have always, always, always wanted to be able to do pushups...ever since I sucked at them in middle school. Just tested with counter pushups, and I can do 20. (More than I thought I'd be able to do!) I think I'll start the workouts tomorrow, because at the moment it seems I've already blown all my arms' energy on the test

Week 2, Day 1 done (all against the counter)
5 sets: 9, 8, 6, 4, 25 (52 total)

Can't wait for the exhaustion test at the end of this week. I'll try a real plank style push up again, maybe I'll be able to eke out just 1!

I am so grateful for this challenge! I always knew I should be doing pushups, but now I'm actually on the floor doing them!

So I totally flaked out and didn't complete week 1 last week. So, I started over yesterday.

D1, W1: 10, 10, 8, 6, 15 (regular, on the floor, up on your toes push-ups)

I can feel the soreness in my triceps and pects today!

Yesterday was the week 1 Day 3 for me. By the third set of ten plank pushups I can't imagine being able to do 100 of these dang things. I've learned something though. Don't chug the water from the water bottle in between sets of these exercises. While I was pressing from the plank position I could feel the water gurgling in my stomach and threating to defy gravity. Things could have gone real bad at that point but I still was determined to get my max in at the end.
